Question

Discrepancies between a text written in a precursor to this script and a first-person book of scripture are explained by the “Catalyst” and “Missing Scroll” hypotheses, the latter of which is promoted by John Gee. Texts from which this script derives were used to produce facsimiles of the hypocephalus motif. A scholar declared “I cannot read a sealed book” in a dispute over a document written in this script, which was once identified with the “Caractors Document” and formed the basis for a (*) Mark Hofmann forgery. This script’s (10[1]-5[1])alterations over time explain (10[1])why “none other people knoweth (10[1])our language,” (10[1])per a text originally written in it. A precursor to this script purportedly provides the basis for a text that describes the star bearing the Throne of God, the Book of Abraham. For 10 points, what script translated using Urim and Thummim was (-5[1])inscribed on golden plates revealed to Joseph Smith? ■END■ (10[1]0[1])
